Core Resources for Churches

Over the years, several Paraclete resources stand out in serving churches. They now form our Core Resources for churches. These resources provide invaluable materials for all age groups in your ministry as they meet the needs of the spiritual, physical, and emotional life of your parishioners. Please browse through our Core Resources to discover items that can enrich the life of your congregation.

Our church sales team is available to assist you with any questions, and help you find the best fit for your programs during the hours of 9-5 EST, Monday through Friday. Call 800-451-5006 and dial ext. 330 for Bob Gibson, or ext. 312 for Wayne Schuman.
